My own plan may not have any hope, but this is just abrogating our responsibilities.
[X] Out loud, for everyone to hear:
-[X] Something like a year ago, in winter, Kyubey failed to do its job and wipe the memory of Pastor Sakura of the Sakura Church after he discovered his elder daughter Kyouko standing over a large group of apparently dead people -- unconscious witch kisses -- in front of an altar and wearing a red dress, having just slain a witch in her own home.
--[X] This really shouldn't have been an issue, only, Kyouko adored her father, and had become a magical girl in the first place because she wanted people to listen to him. And they did, most especially her.
---[X] Discovering this, Pastor Sakura quickly became convinced that Kyouko had made dealings with the devil in order to bewitch people into listening to him, and descended into alcoholism and abusive behavior before eventually murdering his wife and his younger daughter Momo, killing himself, setting fire to the Sakura Church... And vocally blaming Kyouko for it the entire way.
----[X] *That* was what Kyouko "did." You, personally, are substantially more inclined to blame a mix of Kyubey and the literal adult -- her own *father* -- who Kyouko was supposed to be able to trust.

That's the glitched version, lol.

... another failed timeline. Tamura sighed despondently.
Really, she should've looped the moment she figured out that Hitomi was Walpurgisnacht all along, but watching how Kyousuke still expressed preference to a flying, spinning, city-destroying Witch instead of Sayaka brought...
Satisfaction.
Tamura nodded to herself contentedly.
Almost worth it.
She checked her appearance at the entrance, minutely relaxing muscles of her face and adopting a more open stance. It wasn't really worth the effort to pretend in front of her other selves, besides, they were even weirder than she ever would be, no matter how many loops she had to go though in order to save Ma-
What is happening.
"Ah, Tamura," Bar Handler Homura greeted her over the excited hubbub of other Homuras, "Good to see you. Come, sit, have a juice."
Tamura walked slowly towards the bar, studiously ignoring the large commotion on the main stage, ( since when did they have a main stage, anyway? Another renovation, Tamura guessed. ) and plopped down on a stool.
She took a glass, looked at it, and gulped it down in one go.
"Second," she said, "I need that." Then, she finally looked at the white-haired foreigner showing off to a small crowd ( coven? ) of Homuras with what felt like small clouds of Grief, which was, the heck? "Who's the newcomer?"
Bar Handler Homura waited until Tamura started drinking, then dropped the bombshell:
"Apparently, our daughter from Madoka."
Tamura's juice abruptly poured out through her nose. She broke in a coughing fit, glaring balefully at Bar Homura.
"Weird timeline," she shrugged, carefully not-smirking.
"Don't give me that," Tamura croaked out. "Ours?! With Madoka?!" She gesticulated wildly, trying to encompass the profound absurdity of the statement ( and trying to both hide the warm glow at the sudden thought and the furious spark of jealousy that some shameless hussy with her face had lucked out before she did ). "How?!"
"Magic," Bar Homura supplied unhelpfully, "Her name is Sabrina, by the way."
Tamura's eye twitched.
... she chose to ignore it. She had bigger fish to fry.
"... why is our daughter European?" Tamura asked.
"Magic," Bar Homura repeated, unhelpfully.
"I resemble that remark!" Sabrina called over from the main stage. "But basically, yeah."
She jumped off the stage and walked towards Tamura.
"Another juice for me, please," she called Bar Homura, who nodded with what looked suspiciously like maternal fondness. "Hello, Mom." She said to Tamura, who absolutely didn't feel a flutter in her chest why do you ask. "I'm your fan. Say," she started. "Could you please show me where to find Empress Mami? I have some things to say that need to be said, and then, Hugs."
Tamura could swear she heard the word 'Hugs' capitalized, somehow. That was weird. That strange girl who called herself their daughter was weird.
Still.
"Sure," Tamura said, seemingly nonchalantly. "Why not."
The reward was soon to follow.
"Thanks, Mom," Sabrina smiled. "... do you want a Hug?" She asked, a tad anxiously.
"... sure," Tamura repeated, a little hoarsely. "Why not."

They are about the same in terms of brokenness, I think.
On the one hand, failed timelines, as always, and probably more of them.
On the other, the sheer WTF factor probably helps not to take it too seriously.

You convinced me about how your vote and Godwinson's are basically the same, and I like your version better. More direct.

I think a more relevant issue is if we did forget to do what we told Kyouko we would do... its a breach of trust.
How do we resolve that?

This is not simply a matter of who's steering the conversation anymore.
We made a promise to Kyouko to fill Mami in on what happened. You can interpret that as us promising to do so here and now or that we were supposed to do so earlier and simply forgot.
Either we planned wrong and thankfully lost only a single moment or we messed up bad. Either way, we have a duty to rectify our oversight.

As mentioned, we didn't actually promise Kyoko that we'd personally fill in Mami. We actually said outright during that conversation: "I don't want to do that if I don't have anything from your end" and Kyoko never actually agreed to us telling her ourselves. The only solid promise we made was that we'd stop it coming to blows, acting as intermediary for the meeting.
Blurting everything out without confirming with Kyoko that we do, in fact, have permission to is just not a prospect I'm comfortable with. Worst case, we end up coming to blows with Kyoko herself.
So I'm just going to switch my vote, it was really just a glorified version of "Let Mami handle it" to begin with anyway.
[X] Wait. Let Mami handle it.

I could honestly go for either route. Like, ignoring everything else, what's the *worst* that can happen with letting Mami keep going for a vote?
In the worst case scenario there, we just do my vote after next post.
I just, I've changed votes so many times here. I have people voting for me for a reason and I am going to stick to that reason because, well, *what's the worst that can happen with my vote???*

No, seriously, I have this idea for Volume Four, which I would call Homura Tamura's Teenage Rebellion ( Mid-Life Crisis ), where Tamura and Sabrina face off against... Homucifer, as she launches a devious plot to absorb all Homuras and with their powers combined, save all the Madokas once and for all!

I really like the way the current vote is going, but I don't want to fail to update my vote later if it changes. I think Kaizuki will end up doing the right thing in the end, too, so there's my vote.
EDIT:
[X] Wait. Let Mami handle it.
Kai has pointed out to me that letting Mami handle it can't go too poorly, and that it is probably the best option as of now.

It seems to me that the worst that could happen with letting Mami keep going is Kyouko continuing the trend right at the end of rejecting her friendship and hitting her biggest button while Mami can only blame herself until Kyouko runs off before we can do anything more. The last few lines have hit Mami hard and right now she's all but outright crying.
I'm going to remind you, again, that Firn removed the wordcap for this vote. That should mean something. I really wouldn't be surprised if failure here is a lot more impactful than "try again in a moment."
